Adam Johnson has been found guilty of one charge of sexual activity with a child.
The jury at Bradford Crown Court returned the guilty verdict shortly after finding the former Sunderland midfielder not guilty on one earlier charge.
The 27 year old has been told he will almost certainly face a custodial sentence.
He was found guilty on a 10-2 majority. Johnson will be awarded bail while he awaits sentencing in 2-3 weeks.
